    Hi berliner

    1. Go to Start > All Programs > Spybot - Search & Destroy > Spybot Search & Destroy.
    2. On the left hand side, click on Tools.
    3. Check (tick) this box: Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) active.
    4. Exit Spybot Search & Destroy.
    5. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.


    After that.............

    Congratulations, your log looks clean!

    Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

    Disable and Enable System Restore-WINDOWS XP
    This is a good time to clear your existing system restore points and establish a new clean restore point:

    Turn off System Restore
    • On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
    • Click Properties.
    • Click the System Restore tab.
    • Check Turn off System Restore.
    • Click Apply, and then click OK.
    • Reboot.

    Turn ON System Restore
    • On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
    • Click Properties.
    • Click the System Restore tab.
    • UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
    • Click Apply, and then click OK.

    This will remove all restore points except the new one you just created.

    Here are some free programs I recommend that could help you improve your computer's security.

    Install SpyWare Blaster 4.0
    Download it from here
    Find here the tutorial on how to use Spyware Blaster here

    Install WinPatrol
    Download it from here
    Here you can find information about how WinPatrol works here

    Install FireTrust SiteHound
    You can find information and download it from here

    Install MVPS Hosts File from here
    The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer.
    Find Tutorial here : http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

    Update your Antivirus programs and other security products regularly to avoid new threats that could infect your system.
    You can use one of these sites to check if any updates are needed for your pc.
    Secunia Software Inspector
    F-secure Health Check

    Visit Microsoft often to get the latest updates for your computer.
    http://www.update.microsoft.com

    Since this issue appears to be resolved ... this Topic has been closed. Glad I could help.

    Note:If it has been four days or more since your last post, and the helper assisting you posted a response to that post to which you did not reply, your topic will not be reopened. At that point, if you still require help, please start a new topic and include a fresh HijackThis log and a link to your previous thread.

    If it has been less than four days since your last response and you need the thread re-opened, please send me or MOD a private message (pm). A valid, working link to the closed topic is required.
